Massachusetts State Taxes

You may be required to file a Massachusetts state return if you had taxable income at the federal level. There is no need to submit any Massachusetts state tax forms if the only federal tax form you had to complete was Form 8843. The Windstar Foreign National Tax Resource (FNTR) software program will determine your Massachusetts status if you used the program to prepare your federal tax return, and will then prepare the forms that you will need to file, if necessary. Please remember that Massachusetts tax returns are due by April 19, 2016.

The Massachusetts Department of Revenue is located at 19 Staniford Street, Boston, MA 02115, and can be reached by phone at 1-800-392-6089 or (617) 887-MDOR.

Please note: If you lived or worked in more than one state during the preceding calendar year, you may be required to file a state tax return in each state.
